I believe it is interesting to commit to 'gnome-3-10' git branch (always with cherry-pick to 'master') in the situations of GNOME 3.10 is not release yet or minor releases (e.g. 3.10.1) are to be released.
As you mentioned, some modules doesn't have a 'gnome-3-10' git branch. I'm not sure why, but, for you as a translator/coordinator, it means that you have to commit to 'master' only. There are other exceptions that have different names of git branch. Gtk+, for example, have git branch names like 'gtk-3-8'. Releated to your question, yes. You should translate branches available in Damned Lies. On the other side, If Damned Lies don't show a 'gnome-3-10' git branch, this git branch is probably not ready for translators or doesn't even exist. 2013/9/18 Victor Ibragimov <victor.ibragi...@gmail.com> > "gnome-online-accounts", "gnome-photos" and "gnome-terminal" committed to > both master and gnome-3-10.
